Welcome to Prarie Pi. This blog exists to journal and document the memories that our family experiences. Pi is "an amount of type that has been jumbled or thrown together at random." We hope to assemble in words and pictures the daily thoughts and activities that happen in our household. We do this to help those that are distant from us get a glimpse into our days so that the miles that separate us won't keep us apart.

Lazy Summer Days…



016
....are wonderful for lying on a blanket in the shade...
022
....or playing on your tummy on a blanket in the shade....
012
....or SITTING UP on a blanket in the shade.
Yep....sweet baby is pefecting the "sitting up" feat.  It is more fun to work on it outside on a soft blanket in the grass as compared to inside on hardwood floors!
004
Playing "Sorry" is another great thing to do on a blanket in the shade....
005
....and so is coloring and writing letters!
043
I love "blanket time" in the summer......these beautiful, warm, breezy days are worth slowing down to enjoy!!!
